Santa Candy Legs and VIDEO TUTORIAL

It's beginning to feel like Christmas when I start making gifts for the kids. I have used the LD Santa Spirit Candy Legs (PR) which ia FREE this weekend till midnight, tonight MST. If you don't have chance to download the file by tonight you can still purchase the file when it reverts back to it's original price.

I wanted to make a quick project, so I used the printable file (PR) which is essentially a graphics file. You need to create a cut line to enable your cutting machine to cut around the image.  I did this using my Pazzles InVue software, then cut the elements out using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutting Machine.  

Please note that the boots are not included in this file so I imported them from the Santa which is included in Klingelingeling (CP) set.

Please check out my video HERE or click the VIDEO link above for more details.

Nutcracker Bookmark and Tag - VIDEO TUTORIAL

See below for my VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to make a Bookmark with magnetic closure and a Gift Tag using the LD Nutcracker Suite - Gift Tags (PR) with my Pazzles software.

I printed the images on the thick white cardstock to give some weight to the bookmark.The magnet on either side of the bookmark stops it falling out of the book!

Please bear with me as I get used to the whole process of video tutorials........they may not be as often as I wish as they are quite a challenge.  However, I am going to have a go, so I would love you to be patient as I master the process!

Treat Cup Holder Card - TUTORIAL

Yesterday, I posted my Treat Cup Holder Card , so
  today, I thought I would show you some of the steps how I created it.

I have used the LD Klingelingeling - Turkey Lip Balm (CP) Cut Project file,
which allowed me the flexibility to alter the file.

The cutting file is FREE till tonight, midnight, MST.

The actual file is to fit an EOS smooth sphere Lip Balm which comes in a range of colours, but I could not find one locally, so I thought I would adapt the file.

I imported the file onto my Pazzles software. I altered the brown for the turkey, because when I printed it out using my printer, it was too dark!  Using the cutting file enabled me to deselect the layers and alter the colour using my colour palette to make it slightly lighter. I would not have been able to do this if I had used the (GS) graphic set.

The only part that I needed to alter was the size of the circle that would hold the Stampin Up Treat Cup.  I measured my Treat Cup and enlarged the circle on the Turkey's tummy to
1.7" for a perfect fit.

I then Print and Cut the base design onto white cardstock using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

So, I now have a turkey with a big hole in the centre to fit my Treat Cup.

 I filled the Treat Cup with assorted colours of  Skittles to match my turkey.  I had a sneaky taste of the flavours too!

I cut a circle of vellum/parchment paper, slightly larger than the cup and adhered it to the sticky strip around the back of the cup.

Using vellum/parchment paper means you can easily piece the paper to get at the treats without destroying the card!

Don't they look colourful and the colour of the Skittles match my card perfectly!

I then inserted the cup from the back of the printed Turkey card.

Then, I cut my base card using Kraft Card and placed the hole so that it matched the hole in the turkey using my Pazzles software made this step very easy.

  I used some strong tape to attach the front of the card to the Kraft Card. Using Kraft Card gives extra strength and keeps it stable when upright, due to the weight of the treats.

This is what the inside of the card looks like.......very neat.

I hope you enjoyed my adapted card.  If you have access to the Lip Balms you will not need to alter the original file.

This file is available for FREE till tonight, midnight MST and you now have a couple of options on how to use the file.  If you miss the offer, you are still able to use the file but it will revert back to the original price.

Have fun and Happy Thanksgiving.

Turkey Treat Cup Card

I saw the LD FREE Turkey Lip Balm cutting and graphic files available this weekend. Here, in the UK, I haven't seen these in my local shops, so I decided to adapt the project slightly using Stampin Up Treat Cups.  

Project by LD - Turkey Lip Balm Holder.

When you click the link it will take you directly to the file.  Click the individual files and the price will change to $0.00 when added to your shopping cart, while offer lasts till November 22nd, midnight MST.

I have used the LD Klingelingeling - Lip Balm (CP) Cut Project file, so that I could adapt it more easily.  I also altered the brown for the turkey because when I printed it out using my printer it was too dark!  Using the cutting file enabled me to alter the colour using my colour palette to make it slightly lighter.

I Print and Cut the base design onto white cardstock.  The only part that I needed to do is alter the size of the circle that would hold the lip balm.  I measured my Stampin Up Treat Cups and enlarged the circle on the Turkey's tummy to 1.7" for a perfect fit.
